The book of Leviticus. How many times have you read through it? (Just curious.) Over the last several weeks, I have been reading this Old Testament book during my morning Bible time. It has not been without its challenges. If I am honest, more than a few mornings, I have considered not finishing it and… Read More Keep Striving and the Need for Holiness
“Just another day at the office.” Although typically used rather sarcastically when something absurd or ridiculous happens, it also infers to the not-so-surprising or routine things of a day. And not just “at the office” but wherever you spend the majority of your day…and whatever makes up your routine. Another stack of papers to grade. … Read More Not Just Another Day
How quickly we forget. Or so it has been said and, sadly, it seems to be true with my own brain. I used to be rather proud of my memory – seemingly never needing a list, a reminder or any sort of prompt to remember anything.

The “new normal”… Read More Don’t Quit Now
March is in the books but, truthfully, I think we are far from putting March behind us. So much of all that described this past month – the emotions, the challenges, the adjustments, the feelings and situations we have experienced during the last fifteen days (or so) – will not only move forward with us… Read More Currently: April 2020
Time for another monthly installment of Share Four Somethings – for the month of March. This month certainly needs no introductions. It is one that will forever be etched in the history books and in our memories. This pandemic and its resulting quarantine – as well as its impact on each of us mentally, emotionally,… Read More Share Four Somethings: The Pandemic
Hats off to Trader Joe’s! My son needed groceries yesterday. He eats keto – and a lot of meat. And meat has been, well, hard to find. He called Trader Joe’s yesterday and asked if they had ground beef in stock. “Sure,” was the answer and when my son arrived soon afterward, they not only… Read More Lessons From These Difficult Days: Order
My mother was a gifted singer. She had a beautiful voice. A tenor voice. She sang silly songs for us as children. She sang while she worked.
